Cupcake is such a sweetie!  Look at those wing feathers!

Okay, so we weren't paying very good attention when we picked up our little chicks . . . we don't remember what kinds we have, so we've had to do a bit of guessing and looking at a chick book.  We know Fuzz is a Blue Silkie, Trouble is a White Silkie, Sunshine may be a Black Tailed Buff, Blackie is most likely a Quail Antwerp Belgian, Cupcake might be a White Laced Red (though we hope not), and Freckles could be anything!  They're all bantams (smaller than normal size), we're sure of that.  :-)

Dad brought home a new waterer for them today, but when we got home they had made a wet mess of half of their enclosure.  So we're doing some rearranging. 

Everyone's feathers are really growing, and

Blackies tail feathers are about 1/2 inch long already!



Blackie is beautiful, especially when he stretches out his wings. 

He's staying, rooster or not!
